Lol at what Rogan thinks.
Plenty of experts do consider GSP the GOAT. Most websites have him as the best.
Hell, even Silva has called GSP the greatest on several occasions.

There is no consensus but you said "most pundits" as if the majority of those that cover the sport don't consider GSP among the very best and in the GOAT conversation. The GOAT conversation, from most, always comes down to 4 guys: Fedor, GSP, Silva, and JonesI didn't say most don't put him in the conversation. I said Joe Rogan doesn't. Not many consider him the GOAT though. Its certainly not as the OP said. He doesn't get the same respect from people in the game as he does from the fans for whatever reason.
Also Luke Thomas is awful.

No, that is FEDOR Emalianenko, I have GSP as #2 all time.Matt Hughes(Two-time UFC WW champion , #2 WW GOAT) 2x
BJ Penn (UFC LW&WW champion , Many people claim him to be the LW GOAT) 2x
Johny Hendricks ( UFC WW champion)
Michael Bisping (UFC MW champion)
Sean Sherk (UFC LW champion)
Carlos Condit (UFC WW interim champion)
Matt Serra (UFC WW champion)
GSP resume contains 9 victories against UFC champions . No wonder why he is considered by the majority of MMA fans and pundits as the GOAT.
Most of these fighters were in their absolute fighting prime when they fought Georges , Yet that wasnt enough since they were fighting the greatest fighter of all time whos name is Georges St-Pierre . The only two persons that could get a victory against the greatest were brutally finished in the rematches against the GOAT in which GSP showed why he clearly was the superior fighter to them .
GSP would have needed to be a totally different fighter under Pride rules, hence he's not the GOAT.
No need for this thread....everybody knows he is the best so far.Matt Hughes(Two-time UFC WW champion , #2 WW GOAT) 2x

He ducked Woodley hard. He's too boring so I don't want to fight him says one of the most dominant but boring champs of all time.
They were flashy. They were cocky. They all learned there can be only one GOAT.
What I don't get is people think it's boring if you don't finish. He was a monster before he was champion and once he became champ he did what he had to do to stay there. If no one could beat him at his game, shame on them.Normally I find myself in agreement with you on most things.
After watching Usman pressure Woodley and school him, I find it hard to believe that GSP wouldn't have done the same. I get that some find GSP boring, but what he isn't is a stupid fighter. Woodley always folds under pressure, and taking the fight to the other guy was a huge part of GSP's gameplan ever fight, he rarely sat back and was content looking for the counter.
Fucking. Awesome. Single leg!
The goat really hooked his right knee.
I love him but can we stop all the redundant repetitive threads about him? He's gone. Move on.
Yeah I get it. But what’s worse, claiming rising future champions on your stat sheet or shells Of themselves former champions?Future UFC champs? Really? Dude, you are just asking to be burnt with that kind of statement.
I think that was awhile back, before GSP came back and won the MW belt. Before Anderson lost to weidman and tested positive for roids twice.
Yeah GSP is definitely the consensus GOAT...lol
He never said that. Good try though.
He basically said that Woodley isn’t a big draw which is true. He’s actually the worst ppv selling champ next to DJ
only because he want big money fights and woodley is not a PPV draw
I'm not saying that GSP couldn't beat Woodley. What I'm saying is DW and GSP are in the crowd with an actively filming cameraman and Woodley beats Maia with 1 arm LITERALLY and GSP doesn't want to fight the winner anymore because he's boring? That's not fishy to anyone?Normally I find myself in agreement with you on most things.
